Default Need opinions on this set up

I had a deal for a kb that fell through. So I was able to pick up a Vortech sq with fastrack intercooler, 42# injectors, anderson power pipe, walbro 255 pump, 90 maf. Im new to the s/c scene, but depending on where you go for answers? everything is good...
I would like the opinion of those in the know here...to gauge if this is a solid starter package for my GT. Im gonna try to keep the psi below 9 until I can upgrade the innards.

You already bought it ..... Right???
What did you want to know??
I personally think a centrifical car should have at least...3.73 gears...
A quality tune would be Ideal... and I would not continuously dog it till you get the forged pistons and rods in there...
Did all the documentation/instructions come with it???
If not get them downloaded/ mailed from the blower company... so you don't have to do ANY winging it....
Detonation wil ruin your good time!!! Learn all you can about it. How to tune to avoid it. How to avoid it with fuel,............ timing........... temps......... boost management............
Make sure you follow the manufacturers recommendations.... the last thing they want is a bad rep from a bunch of blow up motors....
You will come to love the "PRESSURE SIDE!!!!!"

Default thnx

Thanks for the reply jimmysidecarr, I was wondering if this set up with less than 10 psi will give me upper 300hp and stay safe for driving stock innards? I was told that with the air intercooler I would be safe at 10-12 psi. I am having dasilva install and tune it. This is my first run at s/c and wanted to make sure I would be ok with this set up.
